ANALYSIS
- iwon.com,
owned by CBS-Viacom is going to take more than a few observers
by surprise. But over the long haul, will people continue to be
swayed by a prize incentive?
- About.com
continues to steam ahead as a leading destination for users searching
for topical information. Rumblings we are hearing suggest that
a move above the #8 spot is definitely in the cards.
- Excite
is enjoying a healthy contribution of page views from Blue Mountain
greeting cards. Excite has some real choices to make about its
future.
